In re Child of Adam E.

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the district court terminating Father’s parental rights to his child pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4055(1)(A)(1)(a) and (B)(2)(a), (b)(i)-(ii), holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the court’s unfitness and best interest determinations.Specifically, the Supreme Judicial Court held that the record supported the findings, by clear and convincing evidence, and conclusions of the district court that (1) Father was unable to protect the child from jeopardy or to take responsibility for him within a time reasonably calculated to meet the child’s needs; and (2) termination was in the child’s best interest.
